Context

Speeding up product maturity to support SaaS growth

ifeelgoods, the group’s first brand, is at the core of Uggy’s business. It was essential to restructure the team dedicated to this SaaS platform to keep it running well, support the whole group and meet the growing demands of a fast-expanding B2B market.

Point de friction

Combining technical ambition and rigor in an environment that is as demanding on the technology side as it is on the financial side. We had to find someone able to build a highly secure product infrastructure while consolidating resources so growth would not slow down.

Strategy

Putting quality first on highly regulated profiles

For this role, we chose precision. Rather than sending as many CVs as possible, we targeted “experienced junior” profiles who had already worked in complex, regulated environments. The goal was to present few candidates, all of them carefully screened.

16
Candidates approached
Direct approach of 16 Product Owners specialized in B2B SaaS with a strong financial component. Each one was tested on their understanding of security and compliance issues.
6
Candidates sent to the client
6 candidates were shortlisted for their drive and their ability to work with full autonomy. Culture fit and the ability to quickly take ownership of Uggy’s business challenges were our main selection criteria.
Process and closing
The final round came down to two experts: one very technical, the other design oriented. Uggy chose to prioritize UX/UI skills (mockups), a key capability the internal team was missing to move faster.

Results

Supporting the Head of Product and keeping roadmaps on track

We expect this hire (currently onboarding) to give the Head of Product the operational support she needs to lead the platform’s next stages. It should spread the current workload more evenly and keep execution smooth on Uggy’s upcoming priority projects.
